Serum vitamin B-12 in children presenting with vasovagal syncope.

Background And Objectives: The present study aims to determine the serum vitamin B-12 in children presenting with vasovagal syncope.

Methods And Study Design: This is a prospective review of 160 children presenting with vasovagal syncope. Subgroup analysis was done based on the results of head up tilt test.

Evaluation of hippocampal infolding angle and incomplete hippocampal inversion in pediatric patients with epilepsy and febrile seizures.

Purpose: We aimed to investigate the frequency of incomplete hippocampal inversion (IHI) and the hippocampal infolding angle (HIA) in pediatric patients with no additional abnormal findings in the brain.

Methods: Pediatric brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations conducted between September 2012 and February 2015 were screened and 83 patients with epilepsy, 49 patients with febrile convulsion, and 74 control patients were included in this retrospective study. Presence of IHI was evaluated and HIA was measured on MRI.

Infantile Type Sandhoff Disease with Striking Brain MRI Findings and a Novel Mutation.

Background: Sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by β-hexosaminidase deficiency in which the ganglioside GM2 and other glycolipids accumulate intracellularly within lysosomes. This process results in progressive motor neuron manifestations, death from respiratory failure and infections in infantiles.

Case Report: This report presents a 22-month-old girl with infantile type Sandhoff disease that was hospitalized for generalized seizures and psychomotor retardation.

A Rare Cause of Calcified Subdural Empyema and Ventriculitis in a Pediatric Patient: .

Intracranial infections in the pediatric age group are still important causes of morbidity in developing countries. A 2-year-old male patient presented with acute onset of seizures and loss of consciousness to our emergency department with a past history of being followed for hypogammaglobulinemia. Unenhanced computerized tomography scan of the brain revealed a right frontoparietal peripherally calcified extraaxial collection, brain edema and a left sided shift.

A late-onset seizure in a child due to intracranial needle.
